NEW Zealand have made two changes to the All Blacks' starting side for the second Tri-Nations Test against South Africa in Dunedin on Saturday.
Lock Anthony Boric will make his first appearance in the run-on side while Auckland prop John Afoa returns from a knee injury. Boric comes in for Brad Thorn, who was suspended for one week for an illegal tackle on South African hooker John Smit during the All Blacks' 19-8 win in the first test in Wellington last Saturday. Afoa replaces veteran Greg Somerville.
New Zealand team: M Muliaina; S Sivivatu, C Smith, M Nonu, R Wulf; D Carter, A Ellis; J Kaino, R So'oialo (capt), A Thomson, A Williams, A Boric, J Afoa, A Hore, T Woodcock. Subs: K Mealamu, N Tialata, K O'Neill, S Lauaki, J Cowan, S Donald, L MacDonald.
